Exuberant Color

I turned the first 4 blocks to create a center like I had in my previous quilt in 2013.  I don't know for sure if I will keep this or continue with a diagonal design.

I got the last 3 light fabrics cut and sorted groups of 9 pieces for more blocks.

I pulled sets of 9 dark color pieces and matched them with 3 of the light groups.  This is the group I was sewing last night.

There are 2 different kinds of blocks to make the design continuous.

I have added the 3 new blocks on the design wall.  If I make 20 blocks it will be 72" x 90" so I would need to go to the basement and do the layout on the double design wall.

I noticed a few yellow leaves on my Redbud trees so I checked out the big maple across the street.  Our nights in the 40s last week encouraged it to start changing color.  I'm hoping we don't have any heavy frosts or freezes soon.

I moved the Begonia pots that had been on the bottom shelf to the front of the porch.  They are doing well and so is the Geranium.  The rest are slowly dying back with only a few Petunia blooms now.
